Salute To The General

The appearance of Herod, the Patriarch, shocked everyone at the scene.

Those Apollyon warriors that Max had turned into vampires all sensed the authoritative aura of the Patriarch. The blood in their bodies was having a reaction. Since they were bound by their blood, those warriors couldn't help but drop to their knees.

They were so frightened that none of them dared to raise their heads to look at the Patriarch.

Both the Gods of Warrior of the Seven Continents were stronger, so they weren't affected as badly. However, they still instinctively bowed in submission. Meanwhile, the members of the Curia knew they were about to confront a formidable enemy.

Daveth and Betty, the two War Gods of the Light, had gone pale as they retreated to Hepburn's sides solemnly to protect her.

On the other hand, those bishops and Holy Knights cowered and retreated in fear while staring at the legendary figure.

Unlike the others, Nathan remained calm, and he was looking at the old man puzzledly.

The truth was that he was rather weirded out. Pope Eugene mentioned the Patriarch of vampires, Herod, back then. According to him, Herod hibernates all year long, and he will only be awake for three days annually. In fact, the vampire princes will only perform some kind of ritual to wake their patriarch up if the vampires encounter a major change that threatens their survival. Yet, Max managed to summon the Patriarch on his own. That's weird. Besides, although I can sense the intimidating and powerful aura the old man exudes, I'm not impressed. In fact, I think the aura the Patriarch exudes isn't even as strong as Lothar's.

Nathan was growing suspicious. Could it be that the Patriarch before my eyes is a fake? Or is there another reason?

While Nathan was sizing Herod up, Herod's gaze eventually landed on Nathan.

Herod was wearing a retro suit with a black coat with a stand-up collar.

Although there wasn't a single gust of wind in the area, the coat was still swaying.

"Since when do the humble human beings who exist as food for vampires have the right to stand upright in front of me?"

Herod's voice rumbled like thunder, and that caused the people in the area to tremble and bleed.
